i can't say enough for how high quality of cg and story ya have made,just astonishing,everyone,stop jogging around,just read the masterpiece already,sorry for lack of word tho
I hope in the next build we have a one on one moment between Artemi and Ilia. She is the only one that can help with Artemi's emotions. Artemi needs a mother figure to help her, the one thing Artemi's mother couldn't give to her, Love.
Don't worry about TB. We are glad that repeat is back and be able to see much more about Sissel and Euca. We can wait for TB all the time it takes you to continue it
And probably because Cole doesn't see Hamish as his "real dad." It's the same reason so many children reject their stepparents, even when they've done nothing wrong. Parentage is a touchy subject for many people.
This is so different from all the other VN I've played before, It feels like as if I'm watching an anime or something lol, The motions are drawn so good, cool work :D
I play a lot of furry VN, and this one is one of the best in my opinion. I noticed on your patreon membership descriptions it mentions early access to repeat. Is that also true for temptation's ballad?
Generally yes, however Temptation's Ballad is currently on hiatus while I return to working on Repeat for several months. Sorry for any inconvenience! ;w;/
I wanna say that at first,i downloaded this game thinking that it would be a funny gay furry sex novel (and it was kinda)
but then chp1 gave me the plot,characters and intrigue! (And hot himbos)
Then the chp2 gave me more of it and got me hooked to see more
And then chp3 just ruined it! It took the plot and started to stretching and stretching and stretching it until i was so bored and done with reading that i closed and deleted the game!
And yes you can say that you just needed to take a small bites out of it instead of trying to eating it whole.
And now im just kinda sad, dissapointed, little angry and…
Strangely still somewhat happy?
Even though chp3 was in my opinion kinda strechted out and messy (and i didn’t even finished it), i still liked 1 and 2 chp and may still recomend it to someone.
Quick question, where did you end up stopping? There are 103 illustrated scenes in Chapter 3 alone, and I'm surprised none of them managed to interest you in any way ;w;
I stoped at the scene where Cole was angry at Hammish for being a hypocrite and not telling the truth.
As again, i want to say that i liked your novel!
But i think i liked it as a single story per chapter
(Like the chp1,2) With a start-midle-end. And chapter 3 was like that until the midle started go on and on and i wasn’t prepared for it bcs i get used to previous chapters, i got tired of reading and closed it.
… so yeah that all
Ps still i think the novel is good and Ilia imo is literally the strongest being in that world! rly! (]3ASED ]3IRD M O M)
Based on my experience with the game, here's my answer:
Cole (Hyena) is the dom, he usually power bottoms but he sometimes top
Sidd (the shy canine) is a total sub, unless he gains a lot of confidence through the story he's going to keep being a pushover that bottoms everyone and don't know how to lead
I'm on my Kindle, using Ren'Py to run android apps. I'm updating to 2.4 from 2.3, and when I continue from my last save, I am brought to the author's note right away. Please help, I want to experience 2.4
While Temptations Ballad and Repeat are both good (at least imo), there are a lot of really other good ones too. To name a couple newer ones I enjoyed, Lust Shards and Soulcreek, and some older ones like Santa Lucia and Echo. I started with Repeat and after that I just branched out and learned about more. I don't regret it either. The Furry VN community puts ot some great top tier stuff
The story building is flawless and the character development is to this truly is a one in a million diamond of a story game, I seriously can't wait for the next update and for the story to continue!
Click the follow button on the main game page on the top right. It sends updates in your email! May send updates about different projects the creator is working on, though!
I forgot to comment when I played this a few weeks ago, but this is seriously one of my favorite VN's... ever! Not only does the setting make for a really immersive experience (and is one of my favorite types of settings to explore), the story and worldbuilding makes it an experience you won't forget anytime soon.
Truly, though, does nothing stand out more than the wonderful cast of characters. I don't think I disliked a single character, including the side characters. All of them are just so likable, funny, interesting, charming, etc. I could keep going about what makes the characters just so good, but then I would be here forever, lol! (Personal favorite being Artemi)
Each of the characters even the side ones are so well written, clear personality differences and each one is so well rounded. I also love the dnd setting of the whole VN as I'm a player and DM myself. Can't wait for the next update. Will definitely give this one my support.
Unrelated to the game itself, sorry. The description says that "If on ... Linux, simply delete the old game folder and download the new build. Your saves are stored in your local files, so they should be retained after the update." Now I don't know how it is Windows or Mac but on Linux the game saves are saved within the game folder, in ./game/saves. In order to update on Linux you should just install the new version and manually transfer the save files over and then delete the old version if you so desire.
I just downloaded and played the latest update….. just. WOW. The character development for Cole is so good. And the way he had that talk with him, Sidd is peak boyfriend material. Although it’s small, I loved this update! I look forward to the next one!

Aww hamish is my favorite, i want to see how his story unfolds
i can't say enough for how high quality of cg and story ya have made,just astonishing,everyone,stop jogging around,just read the masterpiece already,sorry for lack of word tho
Okay, so, me personally, I want to see more of Knight Commander Grank's and Cole's interactions
i definitely wanna see them "interact" thats for sure
Oh and the plot twist was mind blowing 🤯 i didn't see that coming.
I hope in the next build we have a one on one moment between Artemi and Ilia. She is the only one that can help with Artemi's emotions. Artemi needs a mother figure to help her, the one thing Artemi's mother couldn't give to her, Love.
Don't worry about TB. We are glad that repeat is back and be able to see much more about Sissel and Euca. We can wait for TB all the time it takes you to continue it
Why does Cole hate Hamish so much? He's such a paw and treats Cole well, a real loving father
Hamish is legit husband material, idk how any child would hate a father like him 😭
Pretty sure its cause Hamish is the father that puts his foot down and disciplines Cole
And probably because Cole doesn't see Hamish as his "real dad." It's the same reason so many children reject their stepparents, even when they've done nothing wrong. Parentage is a touchy subject for many people.
Yeah, probably a mix of both. Doesn't see Hamish as his dad, and thus doesn't respect his discipline.
I loved every second of it. I started to cry when I was done
Great work, one question though,
How heavily inspired were you from DnD?
Is the book Cole mentions, "The First Collier" a reference to "The Guardians of Ga'Hoole" book series by chance? :3
This is so different from all the other VN I've played before, It feels like as if I'm watching an anime or something lol, The motions are drawn so good, cool work :D

Is this still being worked it uas been a while since the last update, any news on that this vn is rlly good and i hope to see more...
(I’m writing this to get it out of system)
TB was GOOD until it wasn’t
I wanna say that at first,i downloaded this game thinking that it would be a funny gay furry sex novel (and it was kinda)
but then chp1 gave me the plot,characters and intrigue! (And hot himbos)
Then the chp2 gave me more of it and got me hooked to see more

Even though chp3 was in my opinion kinda strechted out and messy (and i didn’t even finished it), i still liked 1 and 2 chp and may still recomend it to someone.
(Also was there any sex scene in chp3?)
Also i wanna apologise for my bad english, im writing it fast and on emotions

Wait..there's 103 scenes??? Omg I think I got like 50 and I finished the game up to latest update. Either that or I can't count who knows XD
Is the gator guy a date option, I like his design a lot
This isn't really a VN with "date options" but he is part of Sidd's growing harem.
No gallery in the android version is disappointing, but overall I love it
Who is the Bottom and Top?
Yes
what Yes?
Based on my experience with the game, here's my answer:
Cole (Hyena) is the dom, he usually power bottoms but he sometimes top
Sidd (the shy canine) is a total sub, unless he gains a lot of confidence through the story he's going to keep being a pushover that bottoms everyone and don't know how to lead
(Sidd's a badger, but definitely)
I need something explained.
I'm on my Kindle, using Ren'Py to run android apps. I'm updating to 2.4 from 2.3, and when I continue from my last save, I am brought to the author's note right away. Please help, I want to experience 2.4
Came for lewds, stayed for the awesome story! Soundtrack is pretty good as well. Looking forward to more!
holy shit, just sat down to give this a a try... and the 'pirate-dance' track is kind of a hit! where'd that come from??
This is so entertaining, I greatly look forward to future updates!
THE STORY IS SOOO GOODDD AND THE CHARACTERS TOO!!! I LOVE THEM ALL
no.
the only visual novels i will ever play are Temptations Ballad and Repeat <3
While Temptations Ballad and Repeat are both good (at least imo), there are a lot of really other good ones too. To name a couple newer ones I enjoyed, Lust Shards and Soulcreek, and some older ones like Santa Lucia and Echo. I started with Repeat and after that I just branched out and learned about more. I don't regret it either. The Furry VN community puts ot some great top tier stuff
Just because there isn't other 10/10 furry VN's doesn't mean you can't enjoy some 8/10 or 7/10
You know, compared to other VNs, this is the most bit sized VN game that I ever download!
played it in one sitting, and loved it! marrow and hamish are the best, i wish they had more sprites, they deserve the world
i just finished all the way up to the people just fainting. I really really love this game and would love more content on it. Its just so amazing
¡*SPOILERS*!
What is the song called in this scene?
Sidd's theme. It's in the game files as sidd-theme.ogg

Will be keeping up with TB for sure!
When I try to update it It says app not installed as package conflicts with an existing package also I'm on Android if it helps
anyone who is interested should check out Temptation's Ballad's PDB page
https://www.personality-database.com/profile?pid=2&cid=11&sub_cat_id=20939
it could really use some votes on the profiles
Each of the characters even the side ones are so well written, clear personality differences and each one is so well rounded. I also love the dnd setting of the whole VN as I'm a player and DM myself. Can't wait for the next update. Will definitely give this one my support.
Good that Cole is facing his actions but some of it is unjustified. He did have to go through some shit in that household.
version 0.2.3 no longer works for windows problems with rendering never had this screen or problem before. WHYYY!!!
Unrelated to the game itself, sorry. The description says that "If on ... Linux, simply delete the old game folder and download the new build. Your saves are stored in your local files, so they should be retained after the update." Now I don't know how it is Windows or Mac but on Linux the game saves are saved within the game folder, in ./game/saves. In order to update on Linux you should just install the new version and manually transfer the save files over and then delete the old version if you so desire.
AFAIK. Renpy should have both local and global (central) save folders on all platforms.
Local being in the game directory and the global directory should have save folders of every single game (on Windows AppData\Roaming\RenPy).
On Linux the global directory should be ~/.renpy/game_directory.
BTW. If you ever want to nuke saves for a game, you need to delete both the local and global save folders for that game.
This was beautiful
